Maverick Meerkat upgrade.

Ubuntu 10.10 codename 'Maverick' is finally being given to us, among other goodies is the new KDE 4.5 release on board, there are by the way no packages planned for Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, so is recommended to upgrade to 10.10 (normal release) if you want to try the newest KDE release software.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 10.10 on a desktop system couldn't be any easier, first press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

As i'm writing this, the upgrade process is happening, will let you know more when i do :-)

Hi Javi, yes and yes, i have a HP nc4200 and yes, it's running 10.10 and works fantastic, i supposed you read my other post about my notebook's hardware? i still have to tweak my 10.10 install a bit, but so far everything works ootb :-)

Welcome!

The Internet has changed the way we work, live and communicate. The 'Snail mail' became obsolete and it's been replaced by e-mail, in a matter of seconds you can send text, images and sound to anyone, no matter if it's your neighbour next door or a far friendship sitting on the other side of the planet, the Internet makes it possible with incredible speed and efficiency.

Nowadays anybody is capable of having a presence on the internet, from the big enterprise's homepage and intranet having hundreds of terabytes of information spread across continents to the small business in the middle of nowhere to the individual who owns and writes on his blog on a regular basis and just wants to tell the world 'here i am'.

I am one of those individuals, and this is my blog/webpage, whatever you want to name it :-) here i will post thoughts, internet-related topics, info about Linux and open source, distro testing, links to other sites and a bit of my personal life.

I hope you enjoy your visit, find some useful information and please leave a comment, will be very appreciated.
